Value of Irish Land.

The other day London auc-
tioneer offered for sale what he
described as the magnificent resi-
dental and freehold demesne of Ros-
tellan Castle, on the shores of the cove
of Cork, and about five miles from the
port of Queenstown. The property,
which was represented as being delight
fully situated near the finest catching
station in the United Kingdom, COM
prised an aggregate acreage OF HOB
acres, producing an estimated rental of
41676 15s., and included the whole. of
the village of Fairsid, in addition to
which there were valuable seams of
hematite ore and sick pottery clay on
the estate. The modern part of the
castle was rebuilt in the 18th century
on the ruins Of older feudal structure,
which was captured in 1915 by Muir
rough, lord president of Munster, and
shortly afterward recaptured and burnt
by the royal troops under the Earl of
Gastlehaven. The auctioneer admitted
that Just now there was a feeling of
diffidence as to the investing of British
capital in Irish property or industrial
enterprise of any kind, but said that he
believed they were fast approaching
the end of their difficulties in Ireland,
the immediate future of which, he hop
ed, would be one of peace and pros
perity. In reply to a question, he said
Grifith'ss valuation of the property was
f1s95 u.s.. The bidding. started with
an offer of f10, 900 and reached f2o.-
600, beyond which figure intending
purchasers did not seem disposed to ad-
vance, and the property, on behalf OF
the owner, Mr.. Wise. was withdrawn,
the auctioneer remarking that on the
admittedly reduced estimate OF Sir
rRichard Grifith's valuation tho estate
was worth f25,0OO

How Women May be Pretty

III - a ~ 4 e.
" From Fashion Letter by Jennie June:
The most distinctive fact in the dress
ing of women everywhere, is the exact
ness with which it reproduces certain ii
features Which have caught the popular
taste. For example, the vest, the
panel, the high, straight collar and
cuffs of some contrasting or decorative
maserial.r These traits, with slight
variations, appear everywhere, in every
costume worn upon the streets or in
tended for public eye. The majority
of dressmakers are not required TO have
ideas, only fashion plates to copy from;
and perhaps it is just as we'll, for one
must be very we'll versed in tho ordi-
nary mode before one can afford to de-
part fronnit,, r. j il 81 L
Butitis little discouraging to find
that with all the talk about art and all
the skill women put into fancy work,
how little they know, and how little
they apply what they know, to their
own covering and adornment. Women,
whose homes are bowers of beauty, who
have little real work to do, who occupy
large part of their time in making
chair scarfs and bureau covers, satin
satchels and pincushions, wear month
in and month out the same old, black
dress, treating husband and children
constantly to a garb which is poverty
and despair combined; and carries with
it most depressing influence. The
thrift embodied in it is praiseworthy =;
it combines usefulness with economy.
1t is durable and saves dressmakers
bills.
But there are so many pretty mate
rails nowadays, which, if a woman can
make up in simple and pretty style with
her own hands, she can put to varied
and becoming uses that are not worth
the cost utinto them by dressmaker.
There are so many adaptations of pretty
ideas, so much that is refined and orig
inal in the way of treatment and trim
ming, that deft fingers can apply to
simple forms and fabrics, were the arts
of decorative nee de-work put by in
dividuals into their own clothing.
Amateur dress making has attained
high degree Of perfection in England,
and both this and professional dress
making has been stimulated by the
recent annual exhibitions of practical
and artistic dress making, which have
received fattering attention from both
press and public. Some college bred
and well worn women have been added
to the ranks of professional dress
makers, and are bringing science and
art to bear upon dress designing and
dress making. The. serious purpose in
this and the, educated taste that is
brought to bear upon it has already
exerted noticeable effect upon the
dress of English women, and will ir
time make them the best dressed in
stead of the worst dressed women in
the world. Already they are the only
civilized women who dare to be orig
inal.

DISASTROUS SPECULATION.

Collapse of Some Enterprises in the
Gogebic RanEe-Workmen Idle and
Destitute.
A dispatch to the Chicago Evening Journal
from Milwaukee says: The announcement
every few days of some mining enterprise in
the Gogebic iron region calls attention to the
fact that things are in fearful condition on
the range. Last year about one hundred
companies were organized with total CAPT
tai of over $500, 600 900 to find or operate
iron mines on the Gogebie range. There are
about ten good mines on this particular
range that have iron in paving quantities
Several of them are notably large producers
of the hematite ore. The other ninety organ
izations or 'smines' were many of them
started solely for the purpose of selling out
the stock in the excitement. A good many
others had good intentions and spent vast
sums of money trying to find ore. The per
cent. that succeeded has been small. The re-
suit has been that all the wildcat concerns
have collapsed in the last six months;ands some
of the mines that have good prospects have
Stock that sold for S. and So share last
spring is now daily offered for zoe. and Csc.
a share, with, in most cases, no takers. To
make matters worse, the real mines that
have shipped ore to market are unable in
most cases to collect the money due them,
owing to the strikes of miners in the coal
and coke regions. With the exception of
half dozen of the biggest mines, all others
have been compelled to shut down, owing to
a lack of funds to operate. Hundreds of
other miners were thrown out of work by
the collapse and the wildcat concerns, and
still more have struck from time to time for
back pay and are now idle. An army of
men is idle and winter is at hand. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were invested
by Milwaukee and Wisconsin people in
stocks that are not worth the paper on
which they are printed.

NEW ENGLAND's WINTER GAME
Meriden Signs New P1ayer-Othel

Meriden Signs New Player-Other
Notes.
Manager Sands of Meriden is trying to get
Perry of the central division.
The Bridgeport managers are in a guam
dairy. They cannot tell for certain whether
they will have polo or not during the coming
season. The board of oouncilmen held a
special meeting Wednesday night to recon
slider its action of Monday in refusing to per-
init the Gem rink to be removed within the
fire limits. The reconsideration resulted in
sustaining the former action of that body.
Manager Bancroft of the New Bedfords
has been given till to-day to dispose of the
Salem, franchise to Brockton parties, and if the
Brocktor club does not decide to go on at
that time the franchise will revert to the
league.
The opening of the playing season in the
central division was on Wednesday postponed
for one week more OH account of the inabili-
ty of Boston to play in the rink and the fail
ure of Chelsea to put in team. This will
bring the opening of the season on Oct. 81.
Arlie Latham will not play polo this sea-
son, as he will go to the Pacific coast with
the st. Louis Browns.
Manager Doe felt himself obliged to give
up the idea of a club in chelsea on account
of the exorbitant figures demanded by Rivard
and the inability of Stratton to play after he
had pledged himself to join the club.
Boston has signed M. Curley. New Bed
ford has signed Roberts, Hill, Lations, Nc
Peck and Canavan.
The Meriden polo management have secur-
ed A. G. Doe of Boston to play on the Meri-
den team this season. Doe is probably the
best polo player in the United States. He
was captain of the Boston team in 1886 and
of the Salems in 1887, and will greatly
strengthen the Meridens.

HAN W. AND THE ALLIGATORs.
The story of Ch1na,H st. Patrick, and
How He Branished the Anigators.

From the North China Herald.l
The legend of st. Patrick banishing the
vermin from the land has its analogue in
China, according to NJ. Fauyer. In the
works of Han Working, who hourished
something more than 200 years ago, it is
was banished to Kusngtung and appointed
Chao Chou. When he arrived there the
people complained to him that their focks
and herds were being destroyed and them
selves ruined by the ravages of quality of
aIligators, Ngo, which lived in a lake not
far from Chao- yang-hw
Han Yu went to the lake and ordered
pig and sheep to lie thrown to the Ngo, and
when they were assembled he made them
a speech and said: 'sUnder former rulers
you have been allowed to remain here, but
under the reign of our yirtuous emperor
you cannot be tolerated, and you must leave
his empire. At the south of this place is an
immense sea, in which fishes as large as
whales, as well as those as small as shrimps
and sprats, can live in peace. You can
easily go there in day, but 1 will give you
from three to seven days to go. If after that
period you are still found here, I shall be
compelled to bring with me some good
archers with strong bows and poisoned
arrows and declare against you a mer-
CHESS war;" In the afternoon of that day

dry, and no alligators have ever been seen there
since.

the other day about two we'll known st. Paul

each other as twins could possibly be- In
fact whenever Damon was seen you could
wager your last cent that Pythias was not
far away. Well 1t SO happened that the
two chums added third to their brother
hood, bold, bad Minneapolitan. Then at
once the spirit of discord entered the frater-
nifty. The wicked Minneapolitan had a
scheme, but needed money to develop it.
He unfolded his plan to Damon and Pythias
and dazzled their eyes with the riches that
would be in stock for all in case of success
They offered their hearty cooperation. Da-
mon knew rich widow, but had no money
with which to cultivate her acquaintance.
The Minneapolitan and Pythias had q little,
and offered to "put up for Damon, the loan
to be repaid out of the widows fortune as
soon as it should be secured for the scheme.
Then Damon had a glorious time. He
boarded at q prominent hotel to be near the
widow, took her to the theater, showered her
with flowers and presents, in fact conducted
himself entirely after the manner of man
who recks not of cash in comparison with
his burning passion Pythias and his friend
hands with satisfaction az Damon reported
progress. Finally the widow took trip to
Florida. Damon went along and pressed his |
suit with such ardor that the prize seemed |
just within his grasp. They finally returned |
to St. Paul and the next day Damon received |
the widows wedding cards, the groom ar
irving the same day from the East. That is |
